Engineer: ... and this afternoon we'll be voicing a Romney Super-PAC spot attacking Obama. Toggle: Obama? But it... it... primaries. Engineer: Guess they feel they got it sewed up, and it's time to get their general election trash on. I booked a chick who's perfect for the gig. Got this calm, deep, chilling voice, like a female Darth Vader. Toggle: Wouldn't m... m... male be more menacing? Engineer: You've never been married, have you? Toggle: N... n... no.

FROM SUNDAY'S STRIP (LATE IN DAY) TDP [arguing against to an implied assertion that BUSH (being a "good man") IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the wrongful acts wrought by his administration, whereas Cheney (being an "immoral" man) is] : "Re: whether Bush is responsible for the evil wreaked by his administration or not: Nobody put a gun to W's temple and forced him to: - choose Cheney as a running mate for VP, - invade Iraq, - agree to waterboard people who may be innocent. (Responding member): "To be fair, Cheney chose himself as W's running mate, and it would have been impolite of W. to demur..." DTP: Nor did it stop there. Cheney chose to institute a policy of torture, and, to be fair, 'it would have been impolite of W. to demure...'. And to continue the fairness, if VP Cheney had chosen to send an intercontinental thermonuclear missile to Beijing and another to Moscow, it would have been impolite of President W. to demure."
